The overturned cup
Cut off the attention that feeds a provocation.
What you’ll need
- An empty cup
- A saucer
- A small paper slip
The ritual
- Write the provocation on the slip and place it on the saucer.
- Turn the empty cup upside down over the words.
- Tap the cup once and say, “Nothing more is poured here.”
- Leave it covered for one hour, then recycle the slip and return the cup to ordinary use.
